WEALTH IS NOT A NUMBER
We spend anywhere from 30100 hours a week thinking, wondering or worrying about money. Don’t get me wrong. It’s good to have money. I’ve had it and I’ve not had it, and it’s always nice to have more. The question is: why do you want to have more?
In the last few of years of speaking in front of large crowds I asked over 100,000 people that very question: “Do you feel extremely wealthy now?” Only about 5 to 10% of people will raise their hand. Maybe they just don’t want to raise the hand for anything
I’m assuming most of you can get up, walk and move around freely. Before my father passed away he lost his eyesight. What would he have given to see one more day, watch one more sunrise? I’m assuming most of you have pretty good vision- maybe you need a little help- but what is that worth?
So let me ask you question now: Do you feel extremely wealthy? Probably a bit more than you started a few minutes ago. Why? Because wealth is not a number, it’s about gratitude. From now on, each day take a few minutes and list the things you’re grateful for.
Once you do that, it is so much easier to make a lot of money. Not from the position of what you don’t have but from a position of what you do have! I believe you are wealthy! Enjoy it and get even more wealthy. Wealth it’s not a number. It’s gratitude that makes you super wealthy!
